This manual is for the users who operate the device for the first time.
This manual provides information on the detailed instructions, precaution, troubleshooting
and maintenance care.
1. Meanings of Symbols & Safety Precautions
1.1 Safety Labels on Instrument
The labels on the instrument represent safety instructions and directions.
Symbol Meaning Symbol Meaning
Attention and warning
Attention and warning for
electric shock
Symbol Meaning
Attention and warning for correct way of
sample balancing in the rotor.
Attention and warning for rotor coupling.
Attention and warning for lid opening and
closing.
1.2 Safety Precautions
Before using the instrument, please read this operation manual to ensure correct usage. Incorrect
handling of the instrument could possibly result in personal injury or physical damage on the
instrument or its accessories.
1. ALWAYS locate the instrument on a flat, rigid and stable table capable of withstanding
the weight of the instrument and its spinning operation.
2. ALWAYS make a safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge to indicate that neither
hazardous materials nor persons should be permitted within the area during operation.
ALWAYS position the instrument with enough space on each side of instrument to
ensure proper air circulation.
3. ALWAYS install the instrument within a temperature and humidity controlled environment.
4
Refrigerated, High-Speed Micro Centrifuge, 1730R
(Permissible ambient temperature: +5°C ~ +35 °C, Relative humidity: ≤ 85%)
4. Before connecting the power, check the rated voltage.
5. Should not use unapproved rotors and associated accessories.
Only use rotors from Gyrozen Co., Ltd. with appropriate centrifugal tubes and
suitable adaptors to embrace sample containers tightly enough inside rotors.
6. Before operating the instrument, check if the rotor and the rotor lid are securely fastened.
Should operate the instrument with a rotor properly installed and secured to the
motor shaft.
7. Mount the rotor on the motor shaft properly, check it with spinning manually.
8. Do not stop the rotor by touching with hand during the instrument is running.
9. Emergency lid open should be performed only when spinning is completely stopped.
10. Should not exceed the rated speed or specific gravity. Samples whose density is greater
than 1.2g/ml must have reduced maximum rotational speed to avoid rotor failure.
11. The sample content should not exceed 80% of total capacity of a tube. Otherwise, it
would cause spillage of sample fluid and even the tube breakage.
12. ALWAYS load the tubes symmetrically with evenly weighted samples to avoid rotor
imbalance. If necessary, use the water blank to counterbalance the unpaired sample.
13. The operation speed should not exceed the highest value of the individual guaranteed g-
forces of each centrifuge, rotor, bucket or adaptors and sample container, especially the
guaranteed g-force of sample container should not be neglected.
14. The rotors should be cleaned and kept dry after every use for longer life and safety.
15. ALWAYS disconnect the power supply prior to maintenance care and service to avoid
electrical shock.
16. ALWAYS use proven disinfection procedures after centrifuging biohazardous materials.
17. Should not centrifuge flammable, toxic, radioactive, explosive, or corrosive materials.
18. When it is necessary to use toxic or radioactive materials or pathogenic micro-organisms
which belong to the Risk Group II of WHO: “Laboratory Bio- safety Manual,” should
follow national regulations.
Do not place dangerous materials within 30 cm distance around the instrument, and that is also
recommended by IEC 61010-2-020.
Use the emergency lid open function only when the lid button on the control panel is dumb under
the condition of complete stop of rotor running.
Never try to open or move the instrument if it is not completely stopped.
If the power input is more than +/- 10% of the recommended voltage or fluctuates frequently, it may
cause malfunction of the instrument and often result serious damage.
Install the instrument at the place without any kinds of corrosive gases.

3.2 Rotor Coupling and Disassembling
3.2.1 Fixed Angle Rotor
Action
1
Before coupling a rotor, clean the
motor shaft, rotor, and chamber with
soft dry towel.
▶ If you find any foreign substances,
they must be removed from the motor
shaft, rotor and chamber.
2 Mount a proper rotor into the motor
shaft and fix it using Rotor Locking
Tool.
▶ To assemble the rotor, rotate the
Rotor Locking Tool clockwise until
tightly assembled.
▶ To disassemble the rotor, rotate the
Rotor Locking Tool counterclockwise.
▶ Grasp the rotor with one hand and
assemble or disassemble the rotor
using the Rotor Locking Tool.
3
After placing the sample tubes into the
holes of the rotor, close the rotor by
rotating the rotor lid nut clockwise.
10
Refrigerated, High-Speed Micro Centrifuge, 1730R
Caution!
When you run a fixed angle rotor, make sure that the rotor lid is tightly closed. If you don‟t

attached on the drain cap.
11
Refrigerated, High-Speed Micro Centrifuge, 1730R
3.4 Positioning of Sample Tubes
Action
1
2
Before loading sample tubes, check the water
drop or dirt in the rotor hole or inner adaptor.
▶ If you find any water drops or dirt in the
rotor hole or adaptor, remove them with soft
and dry cloth.
The sample tubes should be placed in the rotor
holes in a balanced way.
▶ The sample tubes should be loaded
symmetrically with the density and the weight
considered to avoid imbalance.
▶ In case the number of samples cannot make
balance in weight, please use control tubes.
Otherwise, it can cause noise or vibration, which
may damage the instrument.
▶ Only use appropriate centrifugal tubes and
do not exceed the speed beyond the tube‟s max
g-strength.
Note!
For the safety, the instrument has „Imbalance Cut-off‟ function to sense the imbalance of the
loaded tubes.

Refrigerated, High-Speed Micro Centrifuge, 1730R
5. Maintenance
5.1 Outer Part of Instrument, Chamber, Shaft and Rotor
Outer Part of Instrument
1. Clean the outside of the instrument with dry soft cloth. If necessary, dip the cloth in
neutral detergent and clean any contaminated area. Keep completely dry after cleaning.
2. Do not use any volatile chemicals such as alcohol, benzene, benzole, and thinner, etc.
3. Be careful not to make scratches on the surface of the instrument.
Scratches may cause corrosion on the surface of the instrument.
Any parts with rust should be cleaned with neutral detergents and kept dry.
Chamber
1. Keep dry inside the chamber after every use.
2. If the chamber is contaminated, clean contaminated area with the cloth dipped in neutral
detergent.
3. This product is equipped with a drain hole that can drain water or condensate inside the
chamber. If there is any condensate or water inside the chamber, remove the drain cap
and drain the water out through the drain hole so that there is no water in the chamber.
1) Place the discharge container on the bottom of the Drain Cap located on the left
side of the main body. (* The discharge container is not provided separately.)
2) The Drain Cap located on the left side of the instrument can be opened by turning
counterclockwise to remove moisture or condensate from the chamber.
3) Wait until all the condensate in the chamber has been drained.
28
Refrigerated, High-Speed Micro Centrifuge, 1730R
4) After draining the water in the chamber, turn the drain cap clockwise to tighten it.
Close the drain cap until it is completely in contact with the drain hole.
Precaution for Drain Cap and Hole
1. Should check whether the sealing-ring is attached on the drain cap.
2. Operate the centrifuge after checking drain hole is completely tightened. If not,
refrigerating efficiency could be getting lowered.
Shaft
1. Always keep the motor shaft clean to avoid any imbalance problem caused by the
contaminants.
2. After using the instrument, take out the rotor from the shaft and clean the shaft with dry
soft cloth to keep dry.
3. If the rotor cannot be easily removed from the shaft, do not pull the rotor by force and
call a service engineer authorized by GYROZEN Co., Ltd.
Rotor
1. If any parts become contaminated, clean them with soft wet cloth and keep the rotor dry.
2. Be careful not to make scratches inside or on the surface of rotors. Any small scratches
can cause corrosion of the rotor and big damage to the instrument.
3. While the instrument is not used, remove the rotor from the motor shaft and stand it
upside down.
